Simon Davey and his recently unbeaten reds team will be looking to keep up the magnificent unbeaten run at Sincil Bank tonight.
We seem to rarely make any progress in this competition, but Davey will want to keep this unbeaten run going.

Adam Hammill looks set to go straight in the team for the match following this weeks permanent deal forged between Barnsley FC and Liverpool FC, with Iain Hume also likely to have a good run out and maybe start his first game since injury last November. Daniel Bogdanovic who many felt had earned a start against Sheffield Wednesday with his stunning strike against Manchester City could start this one.

Jacob Butterfield looks like he will retain his midfield berth alongside Anderson, at the expence of the still recovering Argentine Hugo Colace, the way Butterfield is playing it looks like the usually impressive Colace will have a bit more of a battle for his place this season, this competition is good for everyone, and Butterfield has improved no end in the close season. Although perhaps he just didn't really get his chance last term.

Ex Huddersfield manager Peter Jackson may be without Joe Heath who is a doubt for Lincoln's home tie against the tykes. Heath who is on loan from Nottingham Forest is 50-50 after suffering a knock in the Imps' opener in League Two against Barnet on Saturday.

Club captain Scott Kerr will be still sidelined. He was unable to play a part in Lincoln's pre-season due to a knee injury.

Right-back Paul Green is still on the road to recovery from a hip operation while young striker Lenell John-Lewis is also out of tonights squad.
